Photo: Reuters The search for a new Bond girl is over, with French actress Eva Green revealed as the femme fatale who will charm the superspy in the remake of Casino Royale.

The 25-year-old was picked for the coveted role of Vesper Lynd opposite English actor Daniel Craig, who will make his first outing as 007 in the 21st movie in the legendary Bond series. "After an extensive search we have found the perfect actress," producers Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli said. "She brings to the complex role of Vesper an exciting combination of enigmatic and seductive beauty." Green, who beat a field rumoured to include Australian Rose Byrne, has starred in several big-budget and big-name productions, including Ridley Scott's Kingdom Of Heaven in 2004. Born in Paris, she made her debut in 2003 in the critically acclaimed The Dreamers, whose director Bernardo Bertolucci described Green as "so beautiful it's indecent". In Casino Royale, Green will reprise a role played by Ursula Andress in the 1967 version of the film, a spoof of Ian Fleming's classic 007 espionage adventures. In addition, the producers announced that Danish-born Mads Mikkelsen had accepted the role of Le Chiffre, Bond's nemesis in the film. Meanwhile, Jeffrey Wright has joined the cast as CIA agent Felix Leiter.

Filming started in Prague last month and the movie will be released worldwide on November 17. The $135 million production is directed by New Zealander Martin Campbell. It will be filmed in the Czech Republic, the Bahamas, Italy and Britain. The film is being adapted from the 1953 Ian Fleming novel that introduced the Bond character. Craig was named in October to assume the role from Pierce Brosnan, who starred in the last four Bond movies. The most recent film, 2002's Die Another Day, which paired Brosnan with actress Halle Berry, grossed more than $425 million in worldwide ticket sales. AFP, Reuters Death of Vesper. Casino Royale.

Uploaded on Jan 25, 2010 James Bond 007 -Daniel Craig Vesper Lynd is a fictional character of Ian Fleming's James Bond novel Casino Royale. It has been claimed that Fleming based Lynd on Christine Granville/Krystyna Skarbek.[1] In the 1967 film of Casino Royale she is played by Ursula Andress. In the 2006 film of the same name she is played by Eva Green. Vesper is Bond's first romantic interest as presented in Fleming's original novels (although later prequel works by Charlie Higson would present other candidates). Other than Bond's future wife Tracy, she is the only woman in the series to whom Bond proposes.Vesper works at MI6 headquarters as personal assistant to Head of section S. She is loaned to Bond, much to his irritation, to assist him in his mission to bankrupt Le Chiffre, the paymaster of a SMERSH-controlled trade union. She poses as a radio seller working with Rene Mathis and later as Bond's companion in order to infiltrate the casino in Royale-les-Eaux in which Le Chiffre frequently gambles.

After Bond takes all of Le Chiffre's money in a high-stakes game of Baccarat, Vesper is kidnapped by Le Chiffre's thugs, who also nab Bond when he tries to rescue her. Both are rescued after Le Chiffre is assassinated by a SMERSH agent, but only after Bond has been tortured. Vesper visits Bond every day in the hospital, and the two grow very close; much to his own surprise, Bond develops genuine feelings for her, and even dreams of leaving the service and marrying her. After he is released from the hospital, they go on a holiday together, and eventually become lovers. Vesper holds a terrible secret, however: she is a double agent working for MVD and worked with Bond because she was under orders to see that he did not escape Le Chiffre (Her kidnapping was staged in order to lure Bond into Le Chiffre's clutches). Prior to her meeting Bond, she had been romantically involved with an RAF operative. This man had been captured by SMERSH, and revealed information about Vesper under torture. Hence, SMERSH was using this operative to blackmail Vesper into helping them.

After Le Chiffre's death, she is initially hopeful that she and Bond can start a new life, but realizes this is impossible when she notices a SMERSH operative, Gettler, tracking her and Bond's movements. Consumed with guilt and certain that SMERSH will find and kill both of them, she commits suicide, leaving a note admitting her treachery and pledging her love to Bond. Bond copes with the loss by renouncing her as a traitor and going back to work as though nothing has happened. He phones his superiors and informs them of Vesper's treason and death, coldly saying "The bitch is dead." In the following novel, Vesper is not mentioned, but the "job at Royale" is. Bond's feelings for Vesper are not totally extinguished; Fleming's tenth novel, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, reveals that he makes an annual pilgrimage to Royale-les-Eaux to visit her grave. In Diamonds Are Forever, Bond skips the song "La Vie En Rose" in Tiffany's hotel room "because it has memories for him"; this is a song closely associated with Vesper in Casino Royale.

Furthermore, in the novel Goldfinger, when a drugged Bond believes that he has died and is preparing to enter heaven, he worries about how to introduce Tilly Masterton, whom he believes has died along with him, to Vesper. Vesper Lynd is a pun on West Berlin. Like her namesake, the Cold War-era city of Berlin, Vesper's loyalties are split down the middle. In the novel, the character explains that she was born on a "dark and stormy" night, and her parents named her "Vesper" after the Latin word meaning evening (see vespers) to commemorate the night. Fleming created a cocktail recipe in the novel that Bond names after Vesper. The "Vesper martini" became very popular after the novel's publication, and gave rise to the famous "shaken, not stirred" catchphrase immortalized in the Bond films. The actual name for the drink (as well as its complete recipe) is uttered on screen for the first time in the 2006 adaptation of Casino Royale.

In 1993, journalist Donald McCormick claimed that Fleming based Vesper on the real life of Polish agent Krystyna Skarbek , who was working for Special Operations Executive , [1] but there is no credible evidence for the claim.[ original research? ] Contents Novel biography[ edit ] This section's tone or style may not reflect the encyclopedic tone used on Wikipedia.

(October 2015) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Vesper works at MI6 headquarters as personal assistant to Head of section S. She is lent to Bond, much to his irritation, to assist him in his mission to bankrupt Le Chiffre , the paymaster of a SMERSH -controlled trade union.

After Bond takes all of Le Chiffre's money in a high-stakes game of baccarat , Vesper is abducted by Le Chiffre's thugs, who also nab Bond when he tries to rescue her.

Both are rescued after Le Chiffre is murdered by a SMERSH agent, but only after Bond has been tortured . Vesper visits Bond every day in the hospital, and the two grow very close; much to his own surprise, Bond develops genuine feelings for her, and even dreams of leaving the service and marrying her.

Consumed with guilt and certain that SMERSH will find and kill both of them, she commits suicide, leaving a note admitting her treachery and pledging her love to Bond. Bond copes with the loss by renouncing her as a traitor and going back to work as though nothing has happened. He phones his superiors and informs them of Vesper's treason and death, coldly saying "The bitch is dead." Bond's feelings for Vesper are not totally extinguished; Fleming's tenth novel, On Her Majesty's Secret Service , reveals that he makes an annual pilgrimage to Royale-les-Eaux to visit her grave. In Diamonds Are Forever , Bond skips the song " La Vie En Rose " in Tiffany Case 's hotel room "because it has memories for him"; this is a song closely associated with Vesper in Casino Royale. Furthermore, in the novel Goldfinger , when a drugged Bond believes that he has died and is preparing to enter heaven , he worries about how to introduce Tilly Masterton , whom he believes has died along with him, to Vesper.

Vesper Lynd, in the 1967 version of Casino Royale , was portrayed by Ursula Andress , who portrayed another Bond girl , Honey Ryder , in the 1962 film version of Dr. No . In this version, which bore little resemblance to the novel, Vesper is depicted as a former secret agent who has since become a multi-millionaire with a penchant for wearing ridiculously extravagant outfits at her office ("because if I wore it in the street people might stare"). Bond (played by David Niven ), now in the position of M at MI6, uses a discount for her past due taxes to bribe her into becoming another 007 agent, and to recruit baccarat expert Evelyn Tremble ( Peter Sellers ) into stopping Le Chiffre (played by Orson Welles ). Vesper and Tremble have an affair during which she eliminates an enemy agent sent to seduce Tremble ("Miss Goodthighs"). Ultimately, however, she betrays Tremble to Le Chiffre and SMERSH, declaring to Tremble, "Never trust a rich spy" before killing him with a machine gun hidden inside a bagpipe .

She presumably does this for the same reason she does in the novel, as she remarks that it isn't for money but for love. Though her ultimate fate is not revealed in the film, in the closing credits she is shown as an angel playing a harp, showing her to be one of the "seven James Bonds at Casino Royale" killed by an atomic explosion. Eon films[ edit ] In the 2006 film version of Casino Royale, Vesper Lynd is a foreign liaison agent from the HM Treasury 's Financial Action Task Force assigned to make sure that Bond adequately manages the funds provided by MI6. However, she is secretly a double agent working for Quantum , the very terrorist organization MI6 is trying to stop. She is an unwilling traitor, however; she is only helping Quantum because they have taken her lover Yusef hostage and threatened to kill him if she does not cooperate. Vesper is initially skeptical about Bond's ego and at first is unwilling to be his trophy at the poker tournament with Le Chiffre. She refuses to bankroll him after he goes bankrupt on an early hand. However, she assists Bond during his struggle with Steven Obanno , knocking away the gun from the latter.

She afterwards retreats to the shower, feeling that she has blood on her hands from helping to kill Obanno. Bond kisses the "blood" off her hands to comfort her, and they return to the casino. Shortly afterwards, she saves Bond's life. Poisoned by Le Chiffre's girlfriend, Valenka, Bond struggles unsuccessfully to connect a key wire to his automatic external defibrillator , but Vesper arrives and makes the proper connection, allowing the machine to revive him. After Bond wins the tournament, Le Chiffre kidnaps Vesper, and Bond gives chase. They fall into Le Chiffre's trap, but both are saved by Quantum henchman Mr. White , who shoots and kills Le Chiffre for misappropriating his organisation's funds. While both are in a hospital to recover from torture, Bond and Vesper fall deeply in love, and Bond plans to resign from the service to be with her. As in the novel, Bond and Vesper go on vacation to Venice, hoping to start a new life. Unknown to Bond, however, Vesper embezzles the money and delivers it to a group of Quantum henchmen.

When Bond realizes what has happened and goes after Vesper, the thugs take her hostage and lock her in an elevator while they do battle with him. After several explosions, the flooded building sinks, but Vesper resigns herself to death and locks herself in, even as Bond frantically tries to open the elevator. In a final gesture, she kisses Bond's hands to clear him of guilt. Bond finally extricates her and tries to revive her using CPR , to no avail. As in the novel, Bond copes with his lover's death by renouncing her, saying, "The job's done and the bitch is dead." M chastises him, assuming that Vesper had cut a deal with her blackmailers to spare him in return for the money. When Bond opens Vesper's mobile phone afterwards, he finds that she has left Mr. White's phone number, enabling Bond to track down and confront him at the movie's end. At the end of the 2008 film Quantum of Solace , Yusef is revealed to be an agent working for Quantum, asked to seduce high-ranking women in the world's intelligence agencies.

He is then "kidnapped" by Quantum, and the women are forced to become double agents in the hope of securing his freedom. This information vindicates Vesper in Bond's eyes, making him finally see that her "betrayal" was not her fault. He does not kill Yusef, but leaves him to MI6 and congratulates M on the fact that she was right about Vesper. As he walks away, he drops Vesper's necklace in the snow. In the 2015 film Spectre , Bond finds a video tape in Mr. White's hotel room in Morocco titled "Vesper Lynd Interrogation". Ernst Stavro Blofeld , whose Spectre organization runs Quantum, taunts Bond by taking credit for Vesper's death as part of his personal vendetta against him. Related character[ edit ] The character of Vesper Lynd does not appear in the 1954 television adaptation of Casino Royale . Instead the character was replaced by a new character named Valerie Mathis, played by Linda Christian , who is depicted as an American. She also betrays Bond in the adaptation, but does not die.

Bond (played by David Niven ), now in the position of M at MI6, uses a discount for her past due taxes to bribe her into becoming another 007 agent, and to recruit baccarat expert Evelyn Tremble ( Peter Sellers ) into stopping Le Chiffre (played by Orson Welles ). Vesper and Tremble have an affair during which she eliminates an enemy agent sent to seduce Tremble ("Miss Goodthighs"). Ultimately, however, she betrays Tremble to Le Chiffre and SMERSH, declaring to Tremble, "Never trust a rich spy" before killing him with a machine gun hidden inside a bagpipe .

Though her ultimate fate is not revealed in the film, in the opening credits (which includes scenes from the movie) she is shown as an angel playing a harp, showing her to be one of the "seven James Bonds at Casino Royale" at the end of the film after everyone is killed by an atomic explosion. 2006 and 2008 In the 2006 film version of Casino Royale, Vesper Lynd is a foreign liaison agent from the HM Treasury 's Financial Action Task Force assigned to make sure that Bond adequately manages the funds provided by MI6. However, she is secretly a double agent working for Quantum , the very terrorist organization MI6 is trying to stop. She is an unwilling traitor, however; she is only helping Quantum because they have taken her lover Yusef hostage and threatened to kill him if she does not cooperate. Vesper is initially sceptical about Bond's ego and at first is unwilling to be his trophy at the poker tournament with Le Chiffre. She refuses to bankroll him after he goes bankrupt on an early hand.

However, she assists Bond during his struggle with Steven Obanno , knocking away the gun from the latter, though she afterwards retreats to the shower, feeling that she has blood on her hands from helping to kill Obanno. Bond kisses the "blood" off her hands to comfort her, and they return to the casino. Shortly afterwards she saves Bond's life. Poisoned by Le Chiffre's girlfriend, Valenka, Bond struggles unsuccessfully to connect a key wire to his automatic external defibrillator , but Vesper arrives and makes the proper connection, allowing the machine to revive him. After Bond wins the tournament, Le Chiffre kidnaps Vesper, and Bond gives chase. They fall into Le Chiffre's trap, but both are saved by Quantum henchman Mr. White , who shoots and kills Le Chiffre for misappropriating his organisation's funds. While both in a hospital to recover from torture, Bond and Vesper fall deeply in love. As in the novel, Bond and Vesper go on vacation, hoping to start a new life. Unknown to Bond, however, Lynd is still doing the bidding of Quantum.

Despite complying with her orders to deliver the money, the thugs take her hostage when Bond confronts them, and lock her in an elevator while they do battle with him. After several explosions, the flooded building sinks, but Vesper resigns herself to death and locks herself in, even as Bond frantically tries to open the elevator. In her final gesture, she kisses Bond's hands to clear him of guilt, an allusion to the earlier scene in which Bond had kissed hers to do the same for her. Bond finally extricates her and tries to revive her using CPR , to no avail. Also, as in the novel, Bond copes with his lover's death by renouncing her, saying, "The job's done and the bitch is dead." When he utters this line, M chastises him, assuming that Lynd had cut a deal with her blackmailers to spare him in return for the $120 million, and states that "I'm sure she hoped they'd let her live. But she must have known she was going to her death." When Bond opens Lynd's mobile phone afterwards, he finds that she has left Mr. White's phone number, enabling Bond to track down and confront him at the movie's end.

In the 2008 film Quantum of Solace , Bond is seeking revenge for her death. At the start of the film, M tells Bond that she wants to trust him and doesn't want him to kill Yusef, as she says "It'd be a pretty cold hearted bastard who wouldn't want revenge for the death of someone he loved". But Bond covering his emotions says that "he's not important. And neither was she". He takes Vesper's photograph and is encouraged by Mathis to "forgive her" and to "forgive [himself]". At the end of the film, it is revealed that Yusef is an agent working for Quantum, tasked with seducing high-ranking women in the world's intelligence agencies. He is then "kidnapped" by Quantum, and the women are forced to become double agents in the hope of securing his freedom. This information vindicates Vesper in Bond's eyes, making him finally see that her "betrayal" was not her fault. He doesn't kill Yusef, but leaves him to MI6 and congratulates M on the fact that she was right about Vesper. As he walks away, he drops Vesper's necklace in the snow.
